Harvey remnants dump rain on western, central Kentucky

The remnants of hurricane Harvey moved through parts of western and central Kentucky on Friday, dumping several inches of rain and flooding some roadways.

While there were no reports of major flooding in Lexington, there were more collisions in the city Friday than usual, police Lt. Jackie Newman said. None of the weather-related crashes resulted in serious injury, she said.

Weather was thought to have been a factor when a pedestrian was hit by a slow-moving vehicle Friday on Richmond Road, Newman said. The person who was hit had minor injuries.

The wet weather caused more problems in southern parts of the state. As of 7:15 p.m., rain totals of 7.18 inches had fallen in Barren County and nearly 6 inches had fallen in Warren County, according to the Kentucky Mesonet website.
